A warning shot for hip-hop

Can we please have a return to real hip-hop. The destruction of hip-hop is pervasive and has existed for decades. We need to return to hip-hop owned and produced by the performers. Cut out the labels, the industry's expectations, and the commercialism. A transformation is in order for the future of hip-hop or we will be bound to repeat the commercialist uninteresting music of the past decade.

A prime example is Erick and Parrish Making Dollars (EPMD.) EPMD are well known for changing the hip-hop culture for the better. Check out an all-time classic, "You Gots to Chill," a return to real hip-hop.
